National Library Week is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities.
Millions of people across the country visit their libraries every week. What’s the draw? Everything.
Join us in celebrating libraries all week long!
Monday, April 7: Right to Read Day, a day for readers, advocates, and library lovers to take action to protect, defend, and celebrate the right to read. The American Library Association (ALA) kicks off National Library Week with the release of its State of America's Libraries Report, including the list of Top Ten Most Challenged Books of 2023.
Tuesday, April 8: National Library Workers Day, a day for library staff, users, administrators, and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers.
Wednesday, April 9: National Library Outreach Day (formerly National Bookmobile Day), a day to celebrate library outreach and the dedicated library professionals who are meeting their patrons where they are.
Thursday, April 10: Take Action for Libraries Day, a day to rally advocates to support libraries.
Stop by the Library during this week for more information, free buttons, and sharing what draws you to our community's library.
For the first time, if you donate $15 or more to the Fitchburg Public Library, starting on Monday 4/7 - 4/12, Libro.fm will send you a free audiobook credit!
